Synopsis

#1 international resilience expert Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal provides practical tools to effectively address challenges, complexity, and change.

Resilience is categorically misunderstood. It’s not merely about bouncing back, and it’s so much more than returning to where you began. True resilient “doing” allows us to capitalize on the inescapable challenges of life and become better than we were before.

Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal began working with brain injury patients and found that most popular beliefs about human resilience are incorrect. Since then, for the last 20 years, she has conducted qualitative research on the power of resilience, studying the science behind why some people succeed while others fail. Here, Dr. Taryn Marie outlines the five critical behaviors that define successful resilience: Vulnerability, Productive Perseverance, Connection, Gratiosity (Gratitude and Generosity), and Possibility. Resilient People bounce forward, take an active approach to facing challenges, and most importantly, they are made, not born.

Dr. Taryn Marie’s empirically proven framework shows us how to develop resilience practices in our own lives—as adults, as parents, and across organizations—in a manner that allows us to be enhanced by our experiences, not diminished.

What a home run. I don’t have a lot to say about this book because you just need to read it. Dr. Taryn Marie provides a fresh perspective and opens an important dialogue in these pages. Her candor and writing style made me feel like we were having coffee together, and she was conversationally sharin......more

Goodreads review by Theresa on February 21, 2023

Great self help book. Reconfirms what it means to be resilient. I appreciated the connection of the text to life. Sometimes books with research can be too “textbooky” but this one has the right mix of research and applicability.......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on August 23, 2023

I really enjoyed this book. I very rarely will tab a book and I NEVER write in them, but I broke that with this book. I enjoyed learning from Taryn's experiences and I found this book to be quite applicable to most aspects of my life, personal and professional. The 5 Practices are: 1. Being vulnerable......more
